Amazon reveals November 13th release date for new Zunes

While Microsoft wasn't willing to get any more specific than "November" for a release date for the new Zunes, Amazon seems to be far less mysterious about the situation, with it now pegging the launch for all three players right down to the day: November 13th. Of course, that's still somewhat up in the air pending Microsoft's official word, but those looking to put Amazon's prognostication to the test can pre-order your Zune of choice right now.

I don't need wifi stores, or social communities, or web browsers, or calendars, or contact lists.

Just a good, light, flash-based MP3 player with an FM radio.

Doesn't anyone else rip CDs anymore?

The pink zune must be a vampire since it has no reflection. I dig the green btw.

The pink Zune has a reflection. Adjust your monitor and/or video output.

Wait.. is it pronounced "Zoon" or "Zuney"?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 3rd 2007 2:47PM]

Huh, I actually think they look pretty good--especially the big one. Think I'd have trouble getting it to play nice with my Mac?

ordering two! I really like the social aspect of the player. Being a fan of rather niche musical genres, I am excited.

Doubleshot is gone?? Now THAT'S a stupid move. The doubleshot was the coolest thing about the Z.

I have to say the new Zunes look pretty good, but Microsoft are still not bringing anything new to the table to challange Apple with these new versions. And that my main problem with Zune and Microsoft.

I love how microsoft has been forced to embrace the term Podcast.

But as you can see from the image, they're half hearted at best.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 3rd 2007 7:21PM]

how have they been forced to embrace it? its a Personal On Demand broadCAST P.O.D.CAST it has nothing to do with the Ipod.

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 3rd 2007 7:35PM]

Right.

And Website didn't find it's origins from spider web but from We Eat Butter site.

[joshbw Posted Oct 4th 2007 10:23PM]

Podcast is specifically derived from the amalgamation of iPod and broadcast (check out wikipedia if you need verification, the library for all pointless infromation), since the mechanism was originally designed to make broadcasts easy to download onto the ipod. The new acronym has arisen to be more device agnostic, but that doesn't change the origins of the word.

I'm not a huge iPod fan, but credit where credit is due. That said, I doubt any MS employee loses sleep at night over the term.

whats strange is the "green" in this picture is poorly represented. the green 8 i saw on another site has it being more of a golden green color, not pea soup green.


trust me, alot of people hated the brown zune, alot loved it. the brown lookd unusually good. at 1 moment u might love it, the next hate it. i personally got mine zune on sale @ staples and wtf do you know? no brown @ staples, oh well after buying a case for my black zune it seems that it was for the best since it really darkens it up.


also, how do people down the zune? when woot was selling $130-$150 zunes it was ONLY white, meaning brown and black were the selling pieces.
